Vargas, Jacobs try new route to spend $300 million on Tijuana pollution fix
A pair of San Diego Congressional representatives are trying again to transfer money between the bank accounts of two federal agencies. Without the legislative fix, most of $300 million worth of projects to clean-up the polluted Tijuana River and Southern California beaches cannot be spent. Reps. Juan Vargas and Sara Jacobs are hopeful the full House and Senate will OK language introduced in a spending bill that’s passed a House committee, according to a Thursday press release.
